Examinations for permanent jobs were resumed today,
after 4 years, by the U. S. Civil Service Commission with
the announcement of tests for Stenographer (CAF-2, $1,704
a year) and Typist (CAF-1, $1,506). Overtime pay is extra.
The period for receipt of applications opened today and
will continue until 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 26.
First Exam Expected on April 22
James E. Rossell, Director of the Second Regional Office of the Commission, in making the announcement for
his territory, consisting of the States of New York and New
Jersey, said that the first examinations are expected to be
held on Monday, April 22. This is only 25 days after the
last date for submitting applications and indicates that no
time will be lost in getting registers of eligibles established.
Written and practical tests will be included in each exam.
The Stenographer and Typist examinations are the first
of a long series for filling permanently thousands of jobs in

Letting O u t Old-Timers
Bears Strict Watching
T T IS always upsetting to learn of the dropping of a
public employee with a long service record, without
fault or delinquency on his part, because the act tends to
undermine confidence in the security of a public job.
Formerly security was considered one of the main
points in favor of a public job, compared to one in private
industry or commerce. If comparison is made with those
industries in which strong labor unions exist, the survival
of the former difference may be doubted.
Employees with long service records have been separated from their jobs in the past, the practice exists now
and must be expected to continue. All jobs, whether in
public or private employ, are subject to budget and
vacancy. There must be the need of the services and
also the money to pay the salaries.
Reassurance Is Necessary
However, when separation notices become unavoidable, the laws, rules and regulations are expected to operate, and, besides, it would be reassuring to know that every
possible effort was made to find a place for everj'^ imperilled employee, in some other branch of the government.
Any failure to make such an effort works a double
injustice upon the employee, because he is threatened
with unemployment and in practice has no means personally of ascertaining where vacancies may exist.
The separation notices are now more, numerous in
the Federal service, because of the winding up of war
agencies, and much hardship is being inflicted. Even employees with long service records and classified status (the
technical phrase for security) have been and are being
let out.
One case comes to mind of a woman with nearly 28
years of Federal service; another of a man with 22 years.
In these cases every possible effort was made to find a
way to retain them in the Federal employ, but to no avail.
Reduction in funds required reduction in force and, under
the rules these employees had to go; their office,, in which
formerly 645 persons worked, now employ about 250.
Security a Primary Asset
In the State, city and county services, however, activities necessarily curtailed because of the war are to be
resumed. Here we have expansion contrasted with liquidation. Still, old-time employees are let out.
Security is one of the greatest assets of the merit
system; when security is reduced from a real fact to a
mere word the whole cause is as good as lost.
Acts that tend to shake public confidence bear the
closest watching, for it must be true always that separation from the public service must be done in the best faith.
A reader, with 16 years' Federal service, wi ites that
he is being involuntarily separated. He has classified
status. The Personnel Director of his oflice told him that
after the 30-day notice period expires, seniority and status
will end, too, and advised the employee to find a job in
private industry.

Single Percentage Raise
Effective July 1 Favored
In House Sub-Committee
By CHARLES SULLIVAN
Spcclal to The LKADEK
A Navy Yard crowd In Brooklyn listened to Paul Esaian, President
of a local of the United Federal Workers, argue for an increase of
18 cents an hour for workers. The Navy later announced that the
increase will be granted, effective by April 1. The raise is in line
with one approved by the Wage Stabilization Board for the shipbuilding industry. Salaried employees are not included in the Navy
order. A bill in Congress covers them.

Kaplan Says in Speech
A s e a r c h i n g analysis of Civil
Service in action was p r e s e n t e d to
t h e large a t t e n d a n c e at t h e r e c e n t
Regional C o n f e r e n c e of t h e Civil
Service Assembly by H. Eliot K a p lan, Executive S e c r e t a r y of t h e
Civil Service R e f o r m Association.
Mr. K a p l a n questioned t h e c a pacity of personnel a d m l n l s t a r t o r s
t o f u n c t i o n as fiscal officers or of
fiscal officers to f u n c t i o n as p e r sonnel a d m i n i s t r a t o r s .
H e said t h a t Civil Service C o m missions are n o t always necessary.
Large government units find a
Commission necessary," h e said.
" S m a l l e r u n i t s m a y f u n c t i o n with
a personnel a d m i n i s t r a t o r . " He
added:
Functions Stated
" T h e t r u e public a d m i n i s t r a t i o n
picture is n o t sufficiently c l a r i fied."
H e pointed out t h e proper f u n c tions of a Commission as policy
m a k i n g , public relations, e n a c t i n g
rules, a n d a s s u r i n g t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of t h e m e r i t system.
"A Civil Service Commission,"
K a p l a n said, "should serve as a
b u f f e r between t h e politician and
t h e technical s t a f f of e x p e r t s . "
On t h e role of t h e public a d m i n i s t r a t o r , Mr. K a p l a n said t h a t
In practice it o f t e n resulted in a
group of public a d m i n i s t r a t o r s
a p p o i n t i n g a n o t h e r public a d m i n istrator, because of t h e limited
n u m b e r of m e n in t h e field.
T h e basic " 3 In 1" rule In Civil
Service s o m e t i m e s worked out,
said Mr. K a p l a n , so t h a t t h e m a n
appointed to a job is t h e one
whom t h e G o v e r n o r w a n t e d a p pointed anyway.

Said Commissioner Quayle. " T h e
general object of t h e committee
is to assist m e m b e r s in distress."
